We look at the division of 979964 by 85 
Let's see how many times 85 fits into 979964.

On to step 1:
85 goes into 9 0 times with a remainder of 9.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 0.0
If we take 0 away from 9, we end up with 9.
Fetch the next digit (7) from the dividend, attach it to 9 and continue: 97 / 85

Let's proceed to step 2:
The number 85 fits into 97 1 times, leaving a remainder of 12.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 1.0
The remainder is 12 after subtracting 85 from 97.
Grab the next digit (9) from the dividend, add it to 12, then carry on: 129 / 85

Step 3:
129 divided by 85 is 1 with a remainder of 44.
The number 1 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 11.0
If we take 85 away from 129, we end up with 44.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 44 and continue: 449 / 85

Advancing to step 4:
85 goes into 449 5 times with a remainder of 24.
The number 5 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 115.0
If we take 425 away from 449, we end up with 24.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 24 and repeat the process: 246 / 85

On to step 5:
When dividing 246 by 85, we get 2 with a remainder of 76.
Use 2 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 1152.0
Subtracting 170 from 246 leaves us with 76.
Append the next digit (4) from the dividend to 76 and continue with: 764 / 85

Going ahead to step 6:
764 divided by 85 is 8 with a remainder of 84.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11528.0
Subtracting 680 from 764 leaves us with 84.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 840, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 7:
85 can be fit into 840 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 75.
Record the quotient 9 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 11528.9
Subtracting 765 from 840 leaves us with 75.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 750, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 8:
If we divide 750 by 85, we get 8 and a remainder of 70.
Put 8 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 11528.98
The remainder is 70 after subtracting 680 from 750.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 700, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 9:
85 goes into 700 8 times with a remainder of 20.
Write down 8 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 11528.988
Deduct 680 from 700 and we're left with 20.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 200, and continue the process.

The quotient of the division is 11528.988, and the remainder is 0.002.
